Do you like the new LinkedIn design?

June 5, 2013

LinkedIn have recently rolled out the new layout, and there is a noticeable buzz within the social media world around it! The new design has already seen a couple of phases, and each time it happens, you see people talking about it!

That matters for social, because audiences clock…
